Tiago Volpi was the hero as Queretaro defeated Chivas in penalties to lift the Copa MX trophy.

QUERETARO, Mexico -- In the early morning hours on Wednesday, at the hotel where Queretaro spent the night before its Copa MX final clash against Chivas, Gallos Blancos' goalkeeper Tiago Volpi penned his signature on a contract extension that prolonged his stay at the club for at least three more years.

Queretaro arrive at the Copa MX final fresh off a 2-1 win over Chiapas in Liga MX.

MEXICO CITY -- The city of Queretaro has been waiting for another shot at a title since Los Gallos Blancos lost to Santos Laguna in the 2015 Clausura final by an aggregate score of 5-3. On Wednesday, the team will host Chivas in the 2016 Apertura Copa MX final. Tickets for the game are already sold out.

In Victor Manuel Vucetich, Queretaro has one of the most successful coaches in the history of Mexican football, while Chivas have Matias Almeyda, perhaps the most popular manager in Liga MX at present.
